When we attempt to diminish God and elevate ourselves we are guilty of ________ —the act of worshiping or valuing something above God.

Leviticus 18 indicates that those guilty of sexual improprieties are to be “cut off” from the community of Israel. However, Leviticus 20 seems to indicate that people should be “put to death” for the same offenses. We don’t know if the latter penalty was just an exaggerated warning or if there were some circumstances that actually called for capital punishment.

This is a psychopathic condition characterized by delusions of grandeur. A megalomaniac is a person who believes that he is the greatest good and is worthy of worship. God treats himself as the greatest good because he actually is the conceivable good. God is the only being who deserves worship.

Two of Israel’s most depraved neighbors were the Canaanites and Amalekites. The Canaanites practiced idolatry, incest, bestiality, and even child sacrifice. The Amalekites were not only wicked, they committed themselves to the destruction of Israel. Both of these groups were corrupt and hostile. God feared that if his people fell into the sins of its neighbors or perished by their swords, then Israel would fail to fulfill her mission—to become a holy and living testimony to the world. To keep Israel pure and safe, God told his people to destroy these people groups. is.

This term is used numerous times in the Old Testament. It is often translated in a way to indicate complete annihilation or banishment. However, groups of people which Scripture records as “utterly destroyed” often appear later in the Old Testament. In fact, Scripture mandates instructions regarding treaties and intermarriage with groups that were supposed to have been wiped out.

Even God employed this kind of verbiage when he promised to “utterly destroy” Judah. Although Judah was decimated, they survived the Babylonians. Most likely this language was a type of hyperbole.
